Last week we joined ArtMind in a Flickr Favourites blogging event. She has decided to make this a weekly feature and we will be joining in every week. Here is this week's selection from Dandie. Enjoy!

Bunnygo on Etsy

First of all, his shop is called "BUNNYGO". Secondly, it has an intergalactic space whale in stock. Frankly, there was no way I was not going to blog about this guy (who has a blog here, by the way). Since I still appear to be stuck on "cute", let's just say it's a theme and get on with it. Intergalactic Space Whale aka Pure Awesome! (Print of original digital illustration)

He also does vinyl decals, which you can stick on walls, cars or notebooks or whatever else takes your fancy (except furry things, I suppose). Here is his Snowboard Girl decal:


And "Cute White Orchid Girl" (very, very cute): Adorable, I can't wait to see what else he's going to come up with.

Kokonille on Etsy

Kokonille creates very professional looking craft items. While browsing her store and considering whether to share it on the blog, I saw this cosmetic case, which convinced me that her shop was worth promoting:


This is what it looks like when opened:


How cute is that? I just love the colour. It fastens with matching red velcro, which is why I described her products as "professional looking". Clearly she has an eye for detail. She also makes keychains, like this one:


Not to mention her adorable little handbags!


I've picked several red items from her store, but she has 28 items in a variety of colours for sale. Check out her store for a cuteness overload from Germany.

Pinecabincrafts on Etsy

Pinecabincrafts creates items for babies and toddlers. This cute little sweater for a 3 month old caught my eye:

Here is a brown and pink striped one that I also liked:


Pinecabincrafts designed the above patterns herself. She crafts her items in a smoke free, pet free environment. Here is a baby blanket she crocheted:

Gorgeous! She gives the measurements for her wearable items, so you shouldn't have trouble with the fit if you buy a little sweater for a child. Pinecabincrafts' Etsy shop, too cute!

It's like the Treasury, without the waiting period.

When Daneel and I opened our Etsy shop during a holiday, we thought we would be able to craft and upload a new item every week. At least. Turns out university students are required to actually *do stuff* like assignments and essays, so creating new craft items moved down a couple of spaces on our list of to-do's.

Yet one has to generate traffic and so I have been Twittering and logging into Etsy daily. Lacking new craft items of our own to refer others to, I have been linking to Etsy products that I found through the Pounce feature, to give other new Etsians some exposure. Then it dawned on me that I could combine my Etsy finds with a blog, leading to more exposure for everyone. So this is it, a showcase of Etsy finds that we think are worth a look.

Enjoy, point, laugh, comment, maybe buy something.
